Roster slots
Toronto currently has 6+3 international roster slots and three Designated Player slots available for use in the 2022 season. Beginning in 2022, MLS added three non-tradeable international roster spots to the Canadian franchises to compensate for the more complicated residency requirements compared to in the United States; players occupying these additional roster spots are required to have played and been registered with a Canadian MLS club for at least one full year.[2] In 2022, they traded a 2023 international roster spot along with a 2023 MLS SuperDraft first round pick, Ralph Priso, and an undisclosed amount of General Allocation Money in exchange for Mark-Anthony Kaye.[3] In 2023, they traded a 2023 international roster spot, along with Jesús Jiménez in exchange for Brandon Servania.[4]

- Jonathan Osorio's salary is at the maximum Targeted Allocation Money amount and is eligible to be bought down below a DP level. However, for the team's salary cap purposes, he is currently utilizing a Designated Player slot
